No signs of trauma on man found dead in Jersey City apartment, authorities say

Google MapsA man was found dead Tuesday night in his home on Broadman Parkway in Jersey City, authorities said.

The person found dead in a Broadman Parkway home in Jersey City on Tuesday night has been identified as a 56-year-old man, but his name is being withheld pending notification of his family, authorities said this morning.

Based on the preliminary investigation, the man appears to have died from natural causes, acting Prosecutor Guy Gregory said today. It was incorrectly reported on Hudson Now and in The Jersey Journal that the death had been classified as a homicide.

Gregory said there were no signs of trauma on the 56-year-old, who may have died more than a week ago. The man suffered from diabetes and hypertension, said Gregory, who noted that an autopsy will be performed on Thursday.
